From small-scale to big-scale - how a duo turned into a little Big Band:
The duo-arrangement Little Red Suitcase, consisting of the vocalist Elena Setien and the pianist Johanna Borchert, plays through an array of multi-lingual chansons and queer sounds. In their little suitcase they have packed their instruments and set out on musical travels from Spain to Denmark. Their concert activity has stretched from Scandinavia to the USA.
Little Red Suitcase - La vie est belle à Paris:
The Spanish Elena Setien and Johanna Borchert from Berlin broaden their sound-spaces in this duo formation by using a variety of additional instruments. This they have developed and led onto an ever wider course with a new project:
Little Red Big Bang is the ensemble-extension of their duo. Nine musicians play compositions by Setien and Borchert and the character of these compositions remind one of the playfulness of Little Red Suitcase, while at the same time they explore new possibilities in sound. Wind-dabbers emphasise the excentric vocals of Elena Setien and they allow for Johanna Borchert to surround them with the tones from the piano.
Little Red Big Bang - In a Butternutshell:
Soon Little Red Big Band's debut album will be released on Ilkmusic and up until then, you can hear samples of this mini-Big Band on Soundcloud.
